Yes - 6"
to clarify, that's the only thing in my RTT. I threw the original foam mattress into the garbage.

 

Damn, is that on top of the stock one?

 

Real men do it with a hack saw

 

Sorry - clarified my statement. I dumped the stock one. It ripped in like 4 different places.

 

I'm running a 3" memory foam that we cut to size on top of stock mattress. Much better sleep.

And shirtless. need to get a tan and lose some chest hair at the same time.

 

Real men do it with a chainsaw.

 

Name the beer, brotha! I looked at enough DIYs to realize I'm too much of a pussy to cut into my own truck... I'll stick to wrench jobs and leave the cutting work to capable folks like yourself. Once I decide on tires I'll shoot you a PM to schedule a visit!

 

One of my favorite tools has been one of these little air powered hack-saws. Small and nimble. Fits in a lot more places a regular saw-z-all and cut off wheel will

How do you like them?

 

i have only put like 50 miles o them so far, but so far they are treating me decent no complaints

 

sounds good.

 

I'm rolling with a Tepui Kukenam 3 with the stock mattress AND a 3" memory foam topper. What a pain in the ass to close. Anyone else have to sit on top of their RTT to zip it closed? Considering taking the 2" stock mattress out and throwing a couple of thermarest self-inflating pads under the topper.

 

I don't have a RTT, I just have a platform in the back of the truck. But that is what I have, a 4" memory foam pad with self-inflating pads under it. I could sleep on rocks and be fine, but my wife is picky and she sleeps pretty good on it.

 

Folding the sides in as you close the tent goes a longway. Also I noticed that I needed to choose, leaving in the topper or the blankets/pillows. For me it was either or.... I couldn't fit both. If you wanna stop by I can show you a few tips/tricks to getting it closed (fairly) quickly

 

I’m almost back! Headed to Oregon after work to check out that 1st gen. Hope all goes well. Looks like I’ll be using a truck and trailer to pick it up, everyone I know is working OT or sick to today to provide a ride. Fingers crossed anyway, a whole year without a taco is nearly too much to bear! Lol

 

I finally got the GX dialed back in for the season. Can anyone recommend an easy-ish cruise up through the mountains with good scenery? I'm pretty sure most of my go-tos like stampede are going to be snowed in.

 

My Tepui has straps and buckles to hold it closed while zip. Doesn't yours?
